Please join us for a round table conversation with Ms. Violet on education in Zimbabwe. Violet will share her personal and professional experience as educator, activist and community leader for education improvement and Entrepreneurship. She is passionate about education and has dedicated her life to showing leadership on social justice issues in and out of the classrooms. She will help us understand educational challenges in her home country of Zimbabwe and shed light on the positive initiatives putting her country’s education sector back on the road to recovery after many years of upheaval. She will also share her experience working with The Nyadire Connection (TNC) - a faith-based, non-profit organization based in Pittsburgh that seeks to support and sustain the Nyadire United Methodist Mission in northeastern rural Zimbabwe, Africa. The Nyadire Mission offers a hospital, nursing school, school system (preschool through high school), orphanage, teachers’ college, farm, and many other services to the surrounding community.
